(rac)-2,4-diacetyl-5-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-phenylcyclohexanon (20 mmol), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (20 mmol) were dissolved in 20 ml ethanol. The mixture was stirred at 345–350 K within 10 h. After cooling to a room temperature obtained white crystals. The crystals was filtered and washed with ethanol. Have been then dissolved in ethanol (50 ml) and recrystallized to yield colourless block-shaped crystals of the title compound.The melting point 140 °C.
The H atoms of the OH and NH groups of the molecule (I) were localized in the difference Fourier map and included in the
with fixed positional and isotropic displacement parameters [Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for CH3 group and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N) for amino groups]. The other H atoms were placed in calculated positions with and refined in the riding model with fixed isotropic displacement parameters [Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)].)]. 24 reflections, with experimentally observed F2 deviating significantly from the theoretically calculated F2, were omitted from the Moreover, 76 reflections were not measured because the angle limits.Schiff bases are characterized by the –CH═N– (imine) group which is impotantant in elucidating the mechanism of transamination and reactions in biological systems (Lau et al., 1999; Shawali et al., 1985). Due to the great flexibility and diverse structural aspects, a wide range of have been synthesized and their complexation behaviour studied (Raman et al., 2003). Literature survey shows that show bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity (Yuxia et al., 2002). Antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor, anticancer activity has been reported and they are also active against a wide range of organisms. We have synthesized the title compound, (rac)-5-acetyl-6-hydroxy-3,6-dimethyl-4-phenyl-2H-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[c]isoxazole (I), and its structure is reported here. (I) have good antibacterial properties. In the title compound (Fig. 1) all bond lengths and angles are normal. Intermolecular O—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 1; Fig.2) link molecules into centrosymmetric dimer. The cystal packing is further stablized by The two [(C2(R),C4(R)] of three stereogenic centres of tetrahydrobenzo[c]izoxazole moiety are of the same As the crystal crystallizes in the centrosymmetric the racemate (1:1) is present.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Schiff bases are characterized by the –CH═N– (imine) group which is impotantant in elucidating the mechanism of transamination and racemization reactions in biological systems (Lau et al., 1999; Shawali et al., 1985). Due to the great flexibility and diverse structural aspects, a wide range of Schiff bases have been synthesized and their complexation behaviour studied (Raman et al., 2003). Literature survey shows that Schiff bases show bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity (Yuxia et al., 2002). Antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor, anticancer activity has been reported and they are also active against a wide range of organisms. We have synthesized the title compound, (rac)-5-acetyl-6-hydroxy-3,6-dimethyl-4-phenyl-2H-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[c]isoxazole (I), and its structure is reported here. (I) have good antibacterial properties. In the title compound (Fig. 1) all bond lengths and angles are normal. Intermolecular O—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 1; Fig.2) link molecules into centrosymmetric dimer. The cystal packing is further stablized by van der Waals forces. The two [(C2(R),C4(R)] of three stereogenic centres of tetrahydrobenzo[c]izoxazole moiety are of the same chirality. As the crystal crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group, the racemate (1:1) is present.
